Pegorino crime family

The Pegorino crime family is an American Mafia family that is based in northern New Jersey. The family was not given a seat on The Commission, as it was seen as a glorified crew of another Mafia family in New Jersey; its attempts to expand into New York City were often met with failure. In 2008, the family was destroyed due to a strong FBI investigation (which led to several made men becoming government witnesses), gang warfare with the Pavano crime family, and Niko Bellic's murder of boss James Pegorino. The Pavanos took over New Jersey after the downfall of the Pegorino family.
